Hey man, you put a lot of work into those whopping 11x17 drawings of yours. People deserve to see the details!

Great idea Jason, and good artwork Brian. It does upset when you post

a highly detailed image and you loose half of the detailing when you

reduce the image for forum & gallery posting. Hurrah! I say!

For anyone who wants to see Glad's amazing detail up close and personal, I just had a successful test run with some zoom & scan flash code. Eventually, we'll each have a Zoom & Scan gallery of select art on Three-Headed Troll, but for now enjoy these direct links to two of Glad's bigger pieces.

The 450 pixel maximum height of our normal gallery just doesn't do them justice. Behold!

That is seriously awesome! Definitely lets me see detail a heck of a lot better with the zoom in feature.

WOW. The quality level you can get while zoomed in is great. What plane of existence did you say you were from Glad..

The plane of "wishing I could paint!"
I'm glad you guys are liking the zoom thingy....my hat's off to Jay!

Now that I think about it, I don't know whether to shake his hand or hit him over the head with a club........cause' now I'm gonna be self-conscious of my art now that it's practically like looking at it under a microscope.
In all seriousness, talk about something that will light a fire under one's butt as far as striving to make their art as best as it can be. Mercy.

Bah! "Nuances" and imperfections make a piece of art what it is. Rock out with your... well, just rock out.

We could always use a smaller original for the zoom, but I for one like it that you can look all the way up the goblin nostrils. I'm looking forward to getting some acrylic work up so that we can all enjoy brush-strokey goodness. And embedded cat hair, in the case of my own paintings.

Its room #4 White Plume Mountain. The players have realised the door is jammed, and one clever soul has

broken open the sphere containing the Grey Ooze. At least he has enough wit left to attack it with lightning! Good job Glad!

Well, this one isn't hard to figure out...at least I hope it's not! LOL. My version of Jeff Dee's classic "Tomb of Horrors" module cover...

Now, I'm gonna get back to doing some drawings involving classic modules that won't be so obvious, but ToH's has always been my favorite cover to the classic modules I grew up with, so I wanted to take a stab at it.

Don't you just hate when you post a picture & one forum post later it dissappears on the previous page?

You are correct Deogolf, thats JB being all vague and

It is inner circle Trollwurks spell for "snatchy" "snatchy" for the "sitey sitey"!

It will be included in Glad's Gallery.

Here's a sneak-peak of my next doodle. This is at the early ink stages......perfect for those parents who want to print it out as is and have their children break out the ol' Crayola crayons for a little demon/adventuring party coloring!
The heavier inks and colors will be coming next week. Cheers!

You are correct, sir.

Then again, I guess someone could mistake them for Don King and his twin brother going through Professor Brundle's telepods with the fly in it too.

Love the sleeping barbarian!

This stuff would be perfect for any printed/pdf product! Is there anyone trying to pimp your work? Its a nobrainer that someone should.

Thanks, papercut....I'm glad you could tell the barbarian was sleeping and not dead. I was trying to convey one of the chasme's powers with their sleep inducing buzzing sound that they make.

And who better to fail his save than the barbarian. I've been so busy this week with other stuff that I haven't gotten around to finish coloring the pic just yet...should be soon though.

And to answer your question, unfortunately no, there are no pimps coming after the hooker that is my artwork.
But thanks for saying it should be.
